Cub temperatures
« on: October 24, 2012, 11:08:14 PM »
We are new cub camper trailers and have been surprised at how cold it gets inside at night! Is this just a feature of canvas? Any suggestions to help us would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,

I have a cub too. I have found it's cold in summer and hot in winter but no different to being under canvas in any other tent or camper.

I admit to using a heater if I have power, which isn't often, otherwise I get under another cover if I can (eg the big farm shed on a the property we go to). Other than that, another layer and another bevvie!

See you out there!

I know a lot of people use sheets and doona's but I will not camp without my sleeping bag. Have always had a queen size and even when it went to -5 one night we were nice and toasty.

Thanks for your input guys. It's the temperature in the tent section that seems to feel icy, much colder than it actually is outside! In bed it was okay under the Donna but the air inside the tent was pretty cold. And it was end of Sept. in SE Qld. About to go away again so we will see how bad it is this time!
Thanks again.

keep the tent slightly open during the warmth of the day and close it up shortly before sundown. and reverse in summer.
i do that in the house and it works a treat.

I has reduced the extreme temperatures in my Cub a bit by using an Air Cell roof cover....

Air Cell is like bubble wrap with silver foil both sides.   Extremely light and great thermal ability...

This is what I have used as I had some left over from the shed...
